Reggie Miller has officially said thanks, but no thanks to the Boston Celtics --- and every other NBA team --- for their comeback invitation and will not return to the NBA.

Citing mental reasons over the fact that he's like a hundred, Reggie was quoted:

"Physically, I know I could have done it," he told the newspaper. "But mentally, when you do something like this, you've either got to be all in or all out. And I've decided I'm all out."

What the story doesn't go on to say is what he really means. I think that he actually could have handled his 10-15 minutes a game. He probably could have made a few big 3-pointers and we all would have been really happy.

But it seems to me that his heart's just not in it anymore. The reason Michael Jordan came back as many times as he did, was because he just couldn't stand around and not compete anymore. Reggie doesn't feel that way, and that's fine with me. The last thing we need is a Mark-Blount-post-new-contract-walk-around-in-a-coma-but-it's-fine-because-I-got-paid replay.

With that I say, thank you Reggie. Thank's for at least contemplating your return and "really" giving it a shot. You may have boosted the already high-morale of the Celtics and their fans just by thinking about coming to our team. And at the very least, we stayed in the news a bit longer. Right?

So, it's back to the drawing board for Danny and Co. My only question to them --- and my readers --- is: where do we go from here?
